History[]
Jimi Hendrix performed at the concert and Gary Seven met him in the backstage. (TOS - Year Five - Weaker Than Man comic: "Issue 17")
Although it was not generally known, a spotlight operator named Maury Ginsberg played a major role in ensuring the concert's success, given that he noticed that a cable connecting the speaker system had been unplugged and reconnected it. He had been given a lift to the concert by a member of the Q Continuum who later became known as Quinn. (VOY episode: "Death Wish")
During the concert, Roberta Lincoln shared a joint with Hendrix. After mind melding with Lincoln in 2269, Spock saw this incident in her memories. (TOS novel: Assignment: Eternity)
